So you've had a dream and it's had an impact on you. How do you include this disembodied world in your writing? You just do it. Weave it in as part of your story and what makes it work best is to ground yourself in the real world first. Location, weather, time of day and description of where you are, who you are and so on.
INSTRUCTIONS: 1) What is the most vivid dream you've had? Write down the details of that dream.
2) Now write a time in your life, where something in the real world is going on--perhaps you are having a disagreement with a partner or are just at the grocery store. What matters is that you are in a place, during a specific time with a mission at hand. You are going from point A to point B. Describe this situation in real time.
3) Insert the memory of the dream or do as the example shows and wake up.
